Rsd spread or rsd in back?
Last year I was dx d with crps II after rib resection. My rsd is right hand arm breast neck and right upper back. This January I had a multi level thoracic laminectomies to remove a tumor. My pain, almost 3 months later is through the roof. I can't touch the skin in the middle of my back, firm pressure is tolerable but the slightest touch sends me through the roof. My back burns from the middle down my back and rear. My right leg and foot intermittently burns. I am super stiff and have a hard time initiating walking. My hips are killing me. I have a hard time bending as well. I hate going to bed because I can't sleep and I feel like I'm getting worse everyday. My surgery was extensive to what I was told, I went without pain meds twice for over an hour and admitted to icu for pain control. I'm wondering if this thing spread or I'm week from surgery? I thought I'd be getting better instead of worse just like my first surgery. I haven't noticed any swelling or color changes like my arm and hand. My ankle is but I only notice because my sock line is always there. My right foot feels colder but to touch seems the same. I have no help here and I'm about to lose my insurance unless I return to work. Bad situation. Any ideas? Anyone have rsd in their back? Thanks.
